Workers' Compensation FAQ
Is workers' compensation insurance mandatory in Illinois?
Yes. Illinois law requires nearly every employer with at least one employee—full-time or part-time—to carry workers' compensation insurance. This coverage protects both the employer and the employee in the event of a workplace-related injury.
What specifically does a workers' comp policy cover?
Policies typically cover medical expenses directly related to the injury, lost wages while the employee is unable to work, disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation. It serves as a safety net that balances care with legal protection for the business.
How are claims processed in Central Illinois?
The process typically begins with the employee reporting the injury to the employer. During a claim, Blue Peak helps guide clients through the process by providing support and assisting with communication with the insurance carrier as the claim is handled.
